The event just celebrated its second anniversary but this will be the first time it has come to Orlando. “Chillounge Night” founder Raineer Scheer wanted to bring “South Beach Miami to different cities” in the state of Florida when he became bored as a gallery owner in downtown Sarasota. So he bought a bunch of lounge furniture from Indonesia, loaded them into some semi trucks and has been setting up the outdoor lounge settings in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Ft. Myers before booking Orlando.

Along with the lounge furniture, the event also features food vendors, cash bars, a fashion show and live entertainment that will include opera and samba. There will also be a VIP area (because what’s a South Beach lounge without VIP?) that will accomodate 350 – 400 people. VIP includes unlimited food, open bar, a free cigar and gift baskets for $75. Otherwise, it’s $15 in advance and $20 at the gate to get into the event. The party takes place directly across from the Panera at Lake Eola and part of the proceeds will benefit Make A Wish Foundation and a time hasn’t been designated yet. Dress is evening casual but depending on the weather, since it is February, you may want to dress warm. To find out more go to www.chillloungenight.com.
